GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • RACHEL ROBERTSON, 19, flew to Bahrain seeking a Saudi Formula 4 race start — a step outside her usual F1 Academy environment, pending grid space from organisers.
  • The Edinburgh driver drew inspiration from newly crowned F1 world champion Kimi Antonelli, highlighting his discipline and enjoyment as qualities she aims to mirror.
  • ROBERTSON posted strong results at Silverstone and Zandvoort but rated herself mid-pack in Austin, showing the self-critical edge she is working to manage constructively.
  • Her F1 Academy season closes at Las Vegas later in November, with her 2027 seat not yet confirmed — though Robertson says prospects are looking hopeful.

UPCOMING:

  • Saudi Formula 4 event, Bahrain — (date not stated, found Nov 2, 2026)
  • F1 Academy Las Vegas finale — (date not stated, found Nov 2, 2026)
